What are Steve Forbes Chances?

[C-Lo]

I personally don't think he has much of a chance since he's jumping so high in weight without any tune-ups.

But since the two "Contender" fighters (Vera and Bundrage) have scored two huge upset victories, if it were to happen with Forbes, I wouldn't be as surprised.

Do I want Forbes to win? YES! Do I think he is going to win? NO!

Yeah if he did have a chance then he's ruined it with that.


Forbes is gonna have to spoil and not worry about winning the early rounds if he is to survive and not get K.O'd like we all think he will .

He hast got bad defensive technique so tuck up tight , be alert and negotiate his way into the 2nd half. I f he can do this he can start thinking about winning. He should be able to outspeed and out work Oscar if the Golden boy fades like he has in almost all his big fights in the stretch .

Box fight Oscar - Box when he wants to fight and fight when he wants to box . Just work on dragging Oscar into the late rounds and then give it everything he has. The passion he showed in the final of contender may not be enough but if he wants it more than Oscar he can make it interesting .

I would fucking love it if steve beat him, it would shock the boxing world, piss off so many people.

HBO, oscar and all of golden boy, Flord and all of money mayweather promotions lol and the millions of oscar fans who don't even know who forbes is. this would be the one wish i would have this year.

I'm really happy for forbes to get this shot and hope he is getting a decent coin for this fight. I was really really gutted for him when he got fucked over by the judges in his fight with D hopkins...

The same chance Felix Strum had - none

[Chicali]

is this the fighter they call "2 pounds" for being born a 2 pounder?

[Rican]

There is no way Oscar is losing this fight, either in the ring or on the scorecards. Nothing is going to ruin his big payday against Floyd.

[RozzySean]

All Cotto fans are dreaming about a Oscar losing...if Oscar loses, how could Floyd not fight Cotto instead of rematching Oscar? This will cut 6 months off the timetable for Floyd to fight Cotto.

Too be honest I was not overly surprised with the two contenders winning. I did actually back Andy Lee to beat Vera but expected it to be his toughest fight, it proved to be the case and I realised after four rounds that Vera was going to cause the upset. As for Bundrage I actually picked him to win as Ouma had increasingly shown an unwillingness to engage and I thought Bundrage had a chance of a close decision win. In this case however you have two proven fighters and anyone who has seen them or checked out boxrec.com knows what they are capable of. So there should be no surprises here. De La Hoya should win after all this guy was hand picked to be decent preperation for Mayweather. De La Hoya won rounds against Mayweather and fought competitively. Forbes would have lost widely to Mayweather so there is your answer. De La Hoya to win 117-111 or by stoppage in Rds 7-10
